Ilulissat Icefjord Office launched a new website on the occasion of Princess Marie and Prince Joachim’s visit to Ilulissat. The site should make knowledge about the World Heritage Site Ilulissat Icefjord accessible to all of Greenland and the rest of the world.
Princess Mary is patron of UNESCO and in that capacity she was the first to tap into the Ilulissat Icefjord‘s new website kangia.gl.
The opening of the website took place when Prince Joachim and Princess Marie visited Ilulissat Museum to see the new exhibition "Breaking Ice", which describes the human consequences of climate change in North Greenland.
The website will communicate knowledge about Ilulissat Icefjord. In 2004 The Ilulissat Icefjord was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List as the only site in Greenland, and one of the first in the Arctic.
The website enables citizens, school-children, tourists, researchers and others interested to learn about the World Heritage Site, located just south of Ilulissat.
The website has been created with support from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency fund, Dancea.
Management of the Ilulissat Icefjord is a cooperation between Qaasuitsup Municipality, the Government of Greenland and the Heritage Agency of Denmark.
